Feminism Art Practices

Case Study 2# Feminist Art PracticesAnalyse the ways in which the artworks in Plate 1 and 2 represent and comment on the world The ways in which the artworks, in Plates 1 and 2, represent feminist and their views and opinion on the world which is showcased in Julie Rraps works is portrayed when her central focus normally surrounds the human body and its representations. Julie Rrap uses digital manipulation to bring her wild imagination and sense of fun to realisation. The conceptual framework relates to relationships, beliefs of society, values and influencing factors such as the artist, artwork, world and audience. Intentions of the artwork communicates ideas and demonstrates the artists practice. Historical events that influence the audience. The conceptual framework relating to Rraps’ works and intentions are its ideas of beliefs and conventions that the world relates to people who view and comment upon artworks and can be shocked by artist’s representation. Critical currators such as artists visually document and explore how the media reflects the aesthetics conventions. Feminist art provides the space for the appreciation of women’s achievements and the characteristics of their art practice. Feminist art practice responds to a bias of art history that honors the art making practice of men. Feminist art challenges the ideas to a male-controlled society by recognising that throughout history, the depiction of women has be constructed for a male audience. Julie Rrap is an Australian artist who has been enthusiastically involved in the critique of what dictates the approach the female sensibility. She has explored whether it is socially or physically determined and how traditional art practice has influenced ideas. For years Rraps interest in feminist movements has been explored through a variety of media that challenge the conventions of content and form. Overstepping created by Julie Rrap in 2001 depicts the artist’s feet develop into fleshly high heels....

Feminist activity had been a rising concern in the late 1900’s which is based merely off of the emotional significance of personal and psychological reasoning. Rather than reacting on this issue based on historical evidence, the issue is based on immediate needs on the feminist attack. Linda Nochlin, and other important scholars and philosophers explain the psychology, philosophy, sociology, and history of art and the feminist movement pertaining to art.
Linda Nochlin was the author of this piece, and used both her own knowledge to write this piece, as well as other scholars and philosophers arguments, injected them into her writing, and elaborated on their ideas and arguments. When pertaining to psychology, the issues mentioned and elaborated on were how women were rejected, which led to their thoughts, feelings, and emotions being affected. Because of this, this changed their way of interpreting things, and their views of things were different from men. From a philosophical stand point, Nochlin refers to John Stuart Mill who says that he suggests that we tend to accept things that come natural to us, or that are natural, like male domination; this means that males dominate over women, and women having no say in anything, accept what is natural because back in the day, male domination was a normal thing to women and was a natural behavior. Thinking about sociology, in...

POP ART
Beginning from England in mid 1950s and from USA in 1960s. Instead of
traditional objects turning to art elements, Pop art were considered along with the
spreading out of marketing corporations, concentrating on everyday objects through the
application of technical trade. Meanwhile, it was in the tense period of societies across
the globe, colonial issues, democratic struggle and liberation, race relations, women's
rights, etc. created some challenges among college students and intellectuals, required to
reassess the values of life. Artists selected images through popular trends, such as
movies, comics, advertisements, especially on the medias. By using what was called
"flashy" as a basis of art. Therefore, at some points some works of Pop artists were
exhibited to distinguish between “intellectuals” and “low-educated” in art aspect. The
essential meaning behind Pop Art is created an immediately deliverable sense to every
class in society, it oppositely different from the esoteric oil paintings assessed and
admired by art experts. To instantaneously achieve the goals, Pop Art artists experienced
with some new commercial methods, such as painting, acrylic, collage on canvas by
using conventional...

...University Course A316:- Modern Art: Practices & Debates, 1995
'It quickly emerged that the proper and unique area of competence of each art coincided with all that was unique to the nature of its medium. The task of self-criticism became to eliminate from the effects of each art any and every effect that might conceivably be borrowed from or by the medium of any other art. Thereby each art would be rendered 'pure', and in its 'purify' find the guarantee of its standards of quality as well as of its independence. 'Purity' meant self-definition, and the enterprise of self-criticism in the arts became one of self-definition, with a vengeance.'
(Greenberg, 'Modernist Painting', Art in Theory, p.755)
'Greenberg's aesthetics are the terminal point of [an] historical trajectory. There is another history of art, however, a history of representations ... for me, and some other erstwhile conceptualists, conceptual art opened onto that other history, a history which opens onto history. Artpractice was no longer to be defined as an artisanal activity, a process of crafting fine objects in a given medium, it was rather to be seen as a set of operations performed in a field of signifying practices, perhaps centred on a medium but certainly not bounded by it'.

...snapshots between the rise and fall of great leaders and civilizations, by artists all with a common dream of portraying what they saw during their times. Ideologies reflective of their societies were depicted through sculptures, frescoes, pottery, paintings, and many other methods. Many of these principals were created, celebrated, and popularized by constituents of societies where andocentric values were applied not only to social and political mores, but also to the variousart forms as the male body was cherished and praised and the female body was hidden away from public view. The book Feminism and Art History: Questioning the Litany edited by Norma Broude and Mary D. Garrad, strives to examine the role of women in art history as well as articulating the pleasures and problems of artistic pieces in a contemporary feminist vantage point. According to Broude and Garrad in the introduction, modern feministic views have changed the scope of art history in that " feminism has raised fundamental questions for art history as a humanistic discipline, questions that are now affecting its functioning at all levels and that may ultimately lead to its definition." In this book they have dissected widely accepted paradigms of the beauty aesthetic, which directly challenges the idolization of the male physique.

Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh
In Starry Night van Gogh´s unique, thick brush strokes are very much obvious and it´s possible that his severe attacks further dramatized his brush work. However, there is a consistency to his technique that adds even more depth as well as a rich texture to this work of art.
Starry Night is a beautiful painting, representational in the type of art. The size of the painting is 29 in. by 36 ¼ in., and oil on canvas were the materials used. Van Gogh is using an expressive quality and an emotionalism viewpoint. On the left side of the painting, there is a group of black lines that curve in waves upward, coming to a point. To the lower right, there is a small town that leads up to hills and then mountains. The painting is set at night, and the sky is a wondrous swirl of bursting blues, greens, and a gentle yellow for the crescent moon that is in the upper right corner. Lighter values of blue shape the outlines of large stars in the sky, though some stars are smaller than others. Sometimes, there is a yellow dot,...

Analysis of Judith Slaying Holofernes by Elisabetta Sirani.
A Depiction of Strength and Moral Triumph
Judith with the head of Holofernes represents that classical good versus evil archetype. Judith represents the virtues of chastity, bravery and self-sacrifice. This image relates to the feminine archetype through its associations with motherhood as well as seduction. This expands the traditional role of females, showing heroism is possible. This painting’s composition is one of solid foundations, as well as light and dark contrast, emphasizing the key components.
As the story goes, the Assyrian General Holofernes sought to conquer the town of Bethulia on his way to Jerusalem. However, Judith using wine and food lowered his defenses. As he began to desire her sexually, the two retired to his chambers. But overcome with alcohol, he fell asleep, and she had then decapitated him with his own sword. The act of Judith slaying Holofernes, both reinforces and expands the traditional roll of woman.
The female, through motherhood, has always been seen as the retainer of moral standards. A traditional woman’s job in the household, through raising children is to teach the virtues of society. In the story this painting represents, she manipulates the evil Assyrian General through his desire for sin. Overindulgence, called gluttony, is a sin. By providing him with wine and food that dulled his senses, she showed the...

...What Makes ArtArt?
What makes ArtArt? Can Art be defined? An artist can create anything and put their mark on it and deem it as art. I believe art to be a sculpture, painting, or any piece of creative work that brings enjoyment to the artist and an appreciation from the beholder. Art allows you to view the world through someone else’s eyes and obtain their perspective on the subject at hand. Art is everywhere around us. It is expressed in many forms and fashions. From railroad car graffiti, a formal piece in a museum, a one of a kind piece of jewelry or designer fashion clothing, it is all forms of art. Art can bring out an array of feelings in people. Some pieces of art depict happiness or focus on beauty, which would in turn bring out joyous feelings. Art can also display images or subject lines that are not as pleasant to entertain at times which can allow us to be compelled to a feeling of sadness. Art can be a therapeutic way to deal with emotions. Autistic children and people dealing with tragedies can often express themselves and deal with emotions through art. I really enjoy painting old furniture and giving it a new look, a new life. It tends to remind me that all things in life can be restored and made beautiful again with some work...
